SENSHI BEYOND OASIS

Quatre lay on a cot with his shirt removed, the blue haired water spirit examining him thoroughly. The other girls were offering to help, but she pushed them away. "I see no sign of injury, Master Quatre. Just in case though, perhaps you should take it easy for a while."

He took a deep breath. "Haruka-san mentioned that you were each normal girls once. Tell me, Ami, what was your old life like?"

"My mother... she was a village midwife. I have always wished that I could also be a midwife, and I was learning a lot by assisting her." She looked very sad, then shook her head and went back to examining him. "It was all so very long ago."

"I'm afraid that methods have changed, Ami. You may be happy to note, however, that there are now many woman doctors and if you want I could send you to college to become one." Ami looked at him with dawning happiness, then suddenly embraced him.

Mina leaned in to whisper in her ear. "While you're down there you should kiss him. Rub yourself against him, and soon... hey!" Ami was instantly standing up again, her face red as a freshly painted barn. Makoto was blushing too, but smiled to herself as she walked up to him.

"Master Quatre, we must examine your wounds... thoroughly. Please remove your pants and let us see if you are wounded," she breathed, sitting next to where he lay on the cot. Mina smiled and started to unbuckle his belt. Quickly Quatre stood and raced for the door.

"I'm sure I am completely uninjured. As you may recall, she didn't land a blow," shouted the blonde pilot as he raced down the hall. Back in the room, each of the girls giggled in teasing laughter, even Rei and Ami joining in a little. Nearby, Wu Fei was having his own problems. With his arms crossed, he stood between Haruka's unconscious form and about fifty magaunac with an assortment of rifles, pistols and sabres drawn. He cleared his throat.

"You will not attack this person, for several reasons. One," he held up a finger, "it would be dishonorable to attack a defenseless opponent. Two," another finger followed the first, "This person's actions indicate she wanted to protect the girls, something you should approve of. Three," as could be assumed, there was a third finger raised, "Quatre would not want the hospitality of his house to lead to the death of his guest. I can only imagine how upset he would be if his reputation were damaged thus, not counting the emotional repercussions of the act itself. Having illustrated my case, you will leave this onna in peace." He watched them walk away, then washed his hands and prepared to check over her injuries. He was dreading this moment as he tried to think of her as just another hurt individual in need of help, and not as a strong,determined and quite beautiful woman.

"I am a worse pervert than Duo," he lamented. Then he brightened. "No, that is impossible. No one is a worse pervert than Duo!" This thought cheered him only for a second, as his task still awaited him. "Enough time wasting!" He berated himself, as he carefully began to remove her shirt. He checked over her torso and noted that if her sports bra was undamaged, likely everything underneath would also be fine. Wu Fei closed his eyes a moment to focus his chi, then began to open her pants. By the time he was finished conducting a thorough examination he was also ready for a cold shower. He reached forward to button her shirt when Haruka sat up and stretched.

"Thank you for taking care of me, and for standing up for me as well. You're a truly good person," she said, hopping to her feet and promptly falling down. "Oof... hey!" Wu Fei gingerly lifted her back onto the cot.

"I believe it would be best for you to rest right now," he cautioned.

"You are quickly losing hottie points here! I'm not that badly injured!" she protested.

"Then stand." Haruka only glared at him. "Very well, then as I am your de-facto physician, I request that you stay here and rest, at least for today. I will bring you a plate of dinner soon. I believe we are having steak tartre and french bread with cream brulee for desert."

"Um, what about a vegetable?" asked Haruka.

"Quatre wishes to accomodate Makoto." Haruka laughed out loud. Wu Fei cleared his throat and continued. "Now that Quatre has defeated you, what will you do now?"

Haruka looked at Wu Fei with interest. "Well, since your friend won, I can't call him unworthy to protect the girls. That being said, a new threat will appear in the days to come, and Quatre will have to be ready, as will anyone who stands with him. That being said, you can quit worrying. I won't leave here anytime soon honey." The last comment had Wu Fei blushing again, and the previous blush hadn't even faded completely yet. "I have to stick around to train you guys. Hope you can take it!"

"We are not weak, and all you currently reside here will stand with Quatre. I personally await your instruction with joyous anticipation." Wu Fei let a smile grace his features. "I enjoy a good sparring session, and I anticipate the chance to match my skills with yours. But off the subject, I believe you promised you would give us your name if Quatre defeated you. Judging as half your face is an interesting shade of purple, it is time to collect."

Haruka shook her head and smiled. "Very well... Haruka Tenoh. But you, and only you, can call me Ruka-chan," she said with a bawdy wink.

"I will call you Haruka-sensei until you deem that we have learned what you would teach us."

"Hmf, you're no fun."
